You don’t understand how much I need Fire Heli Ratchet. Specifically I need him to be a Chinook or Firehawk. Look at them.

IMAGES: USAF sends B-52 bombers to Indian Ocean base

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/26/2024 - 16:00 in Military, War Zones

U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortresses bombers were deployed on March 22 at the Diego Garcia Naval Support Center in the Indian Ocean.

The Bomber Task Force deployment offers the U.S. Air Force Global Attack Command a presence in the Indo-Pacific, with relatively easy access to the Middle East as well.

The B-52s fled to Diego Garcia from Barksdale Air Base, Louisiana, after a 30-hour direct flight. This is the first time that USAF announces a Bomber Task Force for Diego Garcia - a small island that is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory that serves as a fundamental base for the U.S. and UK military, which has hosted American troops since the 1970s. The B-1 landed there in 2021, and the last time a B-52 landed there was in 2020.

"This deployment aims to improve the readiness and training needed to respond to any potential crisis or challenge around the world, demonstrating the credibility of our forces to face a global security environment that is more diverse and uncertain than at any other time in recent history," the Pacific Air Forces Command (PACAF) said in a statement.

Although the island is in the area of responsibility of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, the U.S. Air Force used the island in the past as a base to send bombers to the U.S. Central Command's area of operations.

This latest deployment of PACAF bombers follows in the footsteps of the B-52 of Minot Air Base, North Dakota, deployed in Guam at the end of January and operating there until March 6.

I’ve seen some people claiming that Nintendo’s racist because some of the Salmonids in Splatoon are called Chinooks. People are claiming that it’s an offensive jab at the Chinookan people, since you ruthlessly murder them and occupy their land. I see where you’re coming from, and I completely understand. Counterpoint:

1. Chinook Salmon exist, they’re a thing.

2. Boeing makes a heavy-lift helicopter called the CH-47 Chinook

3. Chinooks are called “Salmon copters” in every language except English

Nintendo isn’t racist you guys, Chinooks are a double entendre that went way over your heads.

DisneyFormers AU- general premise/concept

A plethora of different Disney characters suddenly start turning into protoforms and are being mysteriously teleporterd across several universes and timelines to Earth many years after the end of Cybertronian War…

Autobots

After the end of the War, most autobots settled on Earth and continue to protect the Earth and its inhabitants. Optimus Prime has stepped down from being the leader of Autobots, focusing on working as firefighter and raising his and Elita One’s sparkling. Autobots work closely with G.I. Joe, protecting the Earth from its every corner. When several of Disney character protoforms fall to the surface of the Earth, Autobots make it their duty to help and train them to become seld-sustainable as bots. And make sure they don’t fall victim to the Villains…

Decepticons

After the war, Megatron is still unable to come to terms that the Allspark is gone. He has stuck in place for many years at this point and is unable to move past that and go foward.

Many Decepticons, frustrated with their leader’s inability to leave the past behind, abandoned the case and moved foward, taking jobs among humans, joining Autobots or just living their best lives on Earth. Nemesis, still orbiting around the Earth, is an interesting place. What used to be a warship, now became a cozy quarters for the remaining Decepticons who have moved on with their lives and Megatron.

The things especially shake up, when an unusual protoform bot is found in the void of space above Earth. Especially it gets interesting for scientist Shockwave…

Disney Heroes

Several of Disney characters suddenly start turning into Protoforms and are flung across several universes and land on current timeline of Transformers universe. This AU mostly follows the shenanigans of one particular group of characters that crashlands in the middle of Nevada desert (with exception of one) (I'll separate them into groups here, according to the movie they're from. Sorry for stupid of those). It consist of:

Cinderella Gang 👠✨ (After the events of Cinderella III: A Twist in Time)

Cinderella, aka. Cindy/Cinder- transforms into an adventure bike. Her little animal companions are always with her built-in pockets. Her default weapon of choice are shurikens that always come back to her, but also uses help of her smaller friends

Prince Charming, aka. Henri- transforms into Zarooq Sandracer spoof. Uses a lightsaber-like fencing sword with built-in plasma shield

Anastasia Tremaine- transforms into Formula 1 bolid (she actually scanned the vehicle by complete accident, but stayed with it). Her weapon of choice are yoyo-style chained

Cinderella's companions

Jaque and Gus- Cinderella's pocket mice companions. Combined, they turns into self-defense long-distance taser for Cinderella. When on their own, they transform into small RC cars.

Bluebirds- Cinderella's pocket bird companions. They transform into two small spying drones capable of recording hours of voice transcription

Bell tower Gang 🔔⛪

Quasimodo- he is a triple changer. Transforms into Boeing Chinook spoof chopper and a SWAT tank. During his time in different world, he picks up a hobby in Dungeons and Dragons and picks up a job of creating custom D&D figures. Suffers condition where the chopper kibble heavily concentrates on one side of his back (reference to his hunch), causing problems with balance. His weapons of choice are "Mantis Shrimp" gloves.

Esmeralda- Transforms into Cadillac Eldorado cabrio model car. Her weapon of choice is a pair of chackrams she hides in rims of her car mode. She also has a small self-defense non-lethal blaster. Frequently accompanied by Djali

Phoebus, aka. Phoebe- transforms into Ford Interceptor spoof. During his time on different timeline he picks up a job of policeman in Nevada police department, paired up with Barricade, a former Decepticon deserter, as colleagues. His weapon of choice is a crossbow-style heavy gun.

Clopin Trouillefou (oh boy, a fruity one)- transforms into Harley Davidson Trike spoof. His weapon of choice is unconventional, as it's a sentient sniper rifle called Stitches (his handpuppet in HoND universe). He also uses a large energon scythe for close combat. One of his special abilities is using his foot wheel kibble as roller skates. He can also join his legs together for stable riding in straight line ridiculously fast when sharpshooting mobile targets.

One-offs

Lars (from 101 Dalmatians: Patch's London Adventure)- doesn't transform into anything in the beginning. He's technically not a Transformer as he lacks a functioning T-Cog. Instead, he's a sub category of sentient robots closely related to Transformers- Energeticon (they're capable of holding large sums of pure energy in relatively small bodies thanks to their mutated sparks). Unlike the rest of heroes, he's actually found and rescued by Decepticons andresodes on Nemesis, working as close assistant of Shockwave. Or maybe he's more than just Shockwave's lab assistant...

Bradley Uppercrust III (from An Extremely Goofy Movie)- transforms into Jaguar XJ220 spoof. His special gimmick with him is that his kibble is completely detachable and detached kibble transforms into a hoverboard. His weapon of choice is a pair of hook swords

Matsuda Kaito, aka. Clio (original character, tied to HoND universe)- Clopin's distant relative (half Roma, half Japanese). Transforms into Shotaro Kaneda's iconic bike from Akira (he scanned the bike during its tour across US). His weapon of choice is energon Nagitana.

Author's comment about Clio

"I really just want to talk a bit about Clio's backstory. Clio is a rebellious teenager from Azuchi-Momoyama period of Japan. He is considered a hot bad boy by today standards. In reality, he's a young adult frustrated with living as a son of a samurai and is scared of bearing responsibility as a warrior in near future. Even his choice of weapon is considered unworthy of a samurai by his father. Clio even hates being referred to with his real name. When landing in world of Transformers, Clio feels very free inside. He also has opportunity to be with Clopin- a distant relative he is very closely bonded with and could only exchange letters until now. He also realizes that he has very deep feelings for his teammate, Bradley Uppercrust III. This experience is opportunity for Clio to grow emotionally and prepare for his inevitable future as a samurai."

And it's that for now. I'm going to post more about that in the future and give potential story bites in the future and reveal the Villains soon. Stay tuned!
